This introduces an abstraction layer for installing packages using a
variety of methods. This includes:

  • apt-get build-dep
  • apt-get install
  • brew install
  • curl <url> | pythonX.Y
  • pacman
  • pip install ReviewBoard[...]
  • pip install
  • yum install
  • zypper install
  • Arbitrary shell commands

This is all done by running run_install_method() and passing in the
appropriate arguments. It will be used for package installation in an
upcoming change.

Unit tests pass.

Tested each of these with the rest of the upcoming installer changes.
